  • Preheat oven at 350 °F (180 C). Set cake mixture over blueberries and smooth the preparation. Oven bake 50 minutes.
  • Slice strawberries into slices. If strawberries are tasteless, set in an hermetic container with a bit of water and sugar. Refrigerate at least an hour. Thsi way, strawberries will be more juicy and sweet. Cool down the cake for 15 minutes before unmolding.
  • Meanwhile, heat cream in a casserole. Pour cream over chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Stir to melt everything up.
  • Over the cake, lay strawberries, few blueberries and pour down the ganache (mix of cream and chocolate) with a spoon.
